    Someone on here did a dynamat in lay on the roof of their wagon. Search it up.

    it was my car. i have tried all types of sound material and by far dyna mat is the way to go

    So doing just the roof made a noticeable difference? Once I find a wagon I am going to be stepping from an Audi to a Honda Wagon. I am scared that the difference is going to be borderline ridiculous! So doing something like this might help to ease the transition haha!

    I've done my whole crx and it helped so much. The rolls of the stuff aren't cheap but it was worth it

    Dynamat is def the way to go, especially if you live in a warmer area and your car is parked outside. Some of the cheaper stuff starts to melt at over 130 degrees, and parked in the sun with the windows up that's pretty easy to hit.

    Think that it would also act as an insulator in the winter lol! Honda's are terrible at keeping warm on those -40 nights...
  • MrLewayneMrLewayne Wagonist
    where and how much was your dynamat?

    Other areas to consider for adding sound deadening :
    1)Shifter console. I know this sounds strange,while at the junkyard I noticed that some hondas & Acuras had some(gray cotton stuff)glued to the under side of the shift console.
    2)Under the carpets.You'll notice this in the Accords and better insulated cars even in the rear of the CRX.

    :arrow: You'll notice the better insulated cars also weight more 'cuz of all the added insulation.

    3)bonus round. :shock: A belly pan.Guys on the hypermiler forums that have tried this reported quieter rides plus incresed gas mileage.My thinking is a lower front spoiler.May not be as quiet ,but may help.

    how much did the roof help? i was planning on doing the entire floors. i know there is factory sound deading under the carpets but its not the etire floor.

    Check this site out:

    Pretty good info, and a slightly cheaper solution that can probably be had at your hardware store...

    The floors have very little and it's very thin.

    I did the doors of my wagon and when they close they sound so much more solid. I also did the full inside, including my trunk, of my 69 Camaro. It was all done with stuff from Lowe's. It's thinner than Dynamat but the cost difference is huge.
  • 91_wago91_wago Wagonist
    ya i went and got a roll of the lowes stuff i figure its better then what it is now theres no way im gona pay top dollar for dynamat. did you use a heat gun to get it more sticky?
  • FoofighterFoofighter Band Wagon
    Post up some pictures of your install! I want to see how the Lowes stuff looks and where you put it... Good luck!
  • MrM3MrM3 Council Member
    It was plenty sticky without using any other adhesives or a heat gun. Unfortunately I don't have any pics in the cars.

    The sound deadening that i put in the wagon is hardwood flooring felt plastic sheets.
    It cost about 30 bucks a roll, it looks like what comes shock with most cars.
    All i did is sprayed it with 3m 80 contact to adhere it in. Worked great !!
